Engage AND assess your History/Social Studies students with this creative writing activity in which they write about a revolution as if it's a recipe for a meal! They will include "ingredients" in the form of specific people, economic conditions, government/ political conditions, important events, and anything else that makes up the revolution of focus. For example, some ingredients for the American Revolution could be the Boston Massacre and taxation without representation! Students will use tr
